The list of lost war memorials from the Imperial War Museum's records, was originally 11 in number, but we identified the DEVONSHIRE STREET Memorial from it's description as being one already in storage with Cliffe Castle Museum.

We also rescued the TEMPLE STREET memorial board, which had been left out on a Keighley street by unknown persons in 2015. We later presented it to Cliffe Castle Museum, where they already held the stained glass windows from this chapel on display.

The other 'lost' Keighley memorial that was recently found, was INGROW COUNCIL SCHOOL WW1

The Ingrow Council School War Memorial Board

and was discovered by a staff member in a storage room in Ingrow Primary School in 2014, and now occupies a prominent place within the school building. The staff very kindly brought this memorial along to show at the 2016 Keighley Armed Forces Day event:

About our Project

Why 'Men' of Worth?
When we started researching in 2003, we found only names of men on local memorials and as we felt their sacrifice had 'worth' and most of them lived around the river Worth we felt the name was apt. Also, Keighley's motto is By Worth, which fits rather neatly with our name. We have since expanded our remit to include everyone from Keighley and the Worth Valley who served in wartime.
Our Project researches local people from Keighley and the Worth Valley who served the country in wartime. Our earliest records are of soldiers who fought before the Battle of Waterloo!
We follow all available sources of information and use the information in these sources to create a biography about each person for our archive.

Please contact us through our 'Submit' page form to add a person to the archive.
